How to Make

  • Step 2: In a saucepan bring broth and chiles to a boil; cover; reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Transfer mixture to a blender; add honey, vinegar, and cumin. Blend until smooth, thinning with broth by tablespoons as needed for thick sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl and rinse out and reserve blender.

  • Step 4: Meanwhile using a blender blend hominy with juice until coarsely chopped (5 seconds or so); drain well. Stir hominy and 3 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat until heated through (2 minutes). Mix in half of the cilantro. Season with salt and pepper.

  • Step 5: Spoon hominy onto plates; top with chicken, then sauce and the remaining cilantro.
